Easy Mason Jar Snow Globes

Here’s a really easy Christmas decorating idea for you, as seen in my Christmas house tour this week (and some from last year, too!) ! I had a few questions on how I made them, so here’s the scoop. For the antique blue mason jar (I found mine at a local second hand store but you can order similar ones here), I simply added a little bit of artificial snow (you can find it at Michaels Craft or craft/garden stores) to the bottom of the jar and set a small bottle brush tree inside! There is no need to glue it down, unless you plan to shake the snow globe to make it snow. In that case, you might want to adhere it. For the clear mason jar snow globe, we hot glue gunned the tree to the lid before screwing it back together again and setting it upside down! If you want snow for the globe, it’s easy to add it into the jar while it is upright, before you screw on the lid and flip it over. You can also get fancy and add cute little animals (we used a fox last year from Michaels Craft), or add multiple small trees!

You can put your mason jars up on chunky candlesticks for a little more prominence! Easy peasy DONE!
